Every CryptPad ships with Zorin OS Pro, full disk encryption, and a pre-configured Mullvad VPN client. The Ledger X Ready Edition includes Ledger Nano X integration for managing cryptocurrency offline. For complete privacy across all your devices, pair your CryptPad with a CryptPhone and a CryptHub encrypted router.

What operating system is installed?

CryptPad laptops ship with Zorin OS Pro — a premium privacy-respecting operating system based on Ubuntu. Unlike Windows or macOS, Zorin OS collects zero user data and gives you full control over your system.

The interface can be switched to look like Windows or macOS, making the transition effortless regardless of your background. All drivers are pre-configured and tested before shipping.

For advanced users, we can install Qubes OS on request for maximum security compartmentalization.

Pre-installed privacy software

Your CryptPad comes ready to use with essential privacy tools:

• LibreOffice — Full office suite compatible with Word, Excel, PowerPoint
• Thunderbird — Secure email with OpenPGP encryption built-in
• KeePassXC — Password manager with local encrypted storage
• Signal Desktop — End-to-end encrypted messaging
• Standard Notes — Encrypted note-taking
• VeraCrypt — Create encrypted containers for sensitive files
• BleachBit — Securely delete files and clear traces
• MAT2 — Remove metadata from documents and images

No bloatware. No subscriptions. No cloud dependencies. Everything works offline.

Browser and search

Two browsers pre-installed and hardened:

Brave Browser — Configured with:
• Built-in ad and tracker blocking
• HTTPS-Only mode enabled
• Brave Search as default (no Google)
• Telemetry disabled

Tor Browser — For anonymous browsing when you need maximum privacy.

Full-disk encryption

Your entire drive is encrypted during first boot. Without your passphrase, your data is inaccessible — even if the laptop is lost or stolen.

This protects against:
• Border searches
• Device theft
• Unauthorized access

You hold the only key.

Premium VPN ready

Mullvad VPN client is pre-installed and ready to connect. Mullvad requires no email address to sign up — just an anonymous account number. Pair it with a Mullvad subscription voucher from our store for completely anonymous VPN access.

Alternative VPN clients also available:
• ProtonVPN — Plus tier, excellent for complete suit
• iVPN — No-email signup, strong privacy policies

All three VPNs have been independently audited and maintain strict no-logs policies.

Secure messaging

Signal Desktop comes pre-installed — the gold standard for encrypted communication. Link it to your phone and message securely from your laptop.

Features:
• End-to-end encryption for all messages and calls
• Disappearing messages
• Open source and independently audited
• Recommended by privacy experts and journalists worldwide

Pairs perfectly with a CryptPhone running GrapheneOS.

Crypto wallet support (Ledger Edition)

The Ledger X Ready Edition includes:

• Ledger Live — Manage your crypto assets
• Electrum — Lightweight Bitcoin wallet
• Pre-configured USB permissions for Ledger devices

Connect your Ledger and start managing crypto immediately.

Familiar interface, your choice

Zorin OS Pro lets you switch desktop layouts instantly:

• Windows-style — Taskbar, start menu, familiar workflow
• macOS-style — Dock, top menu bar, clean aesthetic

Switch anytime in settings. No reinstall needed.

What's NOT included

We remove anything that compromises your privacy:

• No Google services
• No Microsoft telemetry
• No cloud sync enabled by default
• No pre-installed social media apps
• No tracking or analytics

Your laptop. Your data. Your control.
